Why Competitive Cycle?

Well, anyone can cycle and it’s incredibly good for you! It helps you to reduce weight, gain muscle and increase your fitness. Did you know that it have been proven that cycling was a way of reducing the stress of daily life? What’s great about cycling is that you can make it as difficult as you want to make it or should I say…when you want to make it challenging. It’s a low-impact, cardiovascular fitness regime so great for the joints and the heart, well in fact, your whole body. So what’s not to love?!
